The instructions are no help. I can get the test flash to fire so I know the unit works. How do I get it to fire when I take a picture?

Make sure both are on the same channels..check settings within the camera for internal / external flash. What model camera? And the transmitter is being mounted to the shoe, correct?

Apologies. I just looked at your question again. The flash doesn't fire when you take the picture? Do you have a Canon, Nikon or something else? I'm not sure, but it might make a difference. Otherwise, you should go into your menu and see if you have external flash set to on.

You need to say what camera and what flash you have. This unit does not work with Rebel T5i (I have no idea why) and some other Canon cameras. Make sure your camera is in the list of compatible cameras.

Haven't had any problems with my unit. Maybe going over the instructions again, making sure you have the correct model for your camera, batteries are good, and making sure cords are fully inserted would help. Also you could look at the reviews to see comments made that may help you.

Tried with Nikon flash. The LS can work in remote slave mode, so if your flash goes then LS fires too.

Put the camera in rapid fire, manual focus, out the trigger in bulb... hit it once and the shutter will stay engaged.That might work.

Try a different SD card or change the selections in the Shooting mode. I use Natural mode which shoots one picture with flash and one without.

I got my camera to work! I have a powershot sd750 and it wouldn't power up at all. I tried tricks from other post such as ensuring the cover was closed, opening and removing the watch like battery, to no avail. I got mine to work by connecting the USB cord to my laptop, putting in the battery, and pressing play. It worked! And after that the camera turns on normally. Go figure

click the button on top of the transmiter. if they work, set the flash in manual now install on your camera's hot shoe and see if it work.

well, im shooting in large fine format, and i try to use iso accordingly, but whats confusing is that i get both the flash sign (like its recharching as you mention) but i also see the buffer light for the memory on blinking so im not sure if its trying to do both at the same time and can't consult the manual(totally clueless) cause it was ripped up the same day i got it by my friends dog..(damn chihuahuas) so never got a chance to do so...

I too, have the open button that I slide and the flash comes on automatically. I changed my battery before I thoroughly tested mine but the problem with mine was the zoom would no longer retract. I finally just gave up and got a used one which I am totally happy with now. Like Ms. Jump stated though, Kodak has excellent customer service. Sorry, I wasn't much help on your issue.

1.Check the battery is installed properly, and determine the battery has electricity. 2.Set the transmitter and receiver in same channel. 3.Don't install the transmitter on hot shoe,and don't install the flash on the receiver, press the test switch of transmitter, transmitter LED signal lights should be flashing(red),and receiver signal lights should be flashing(red) too. 4.If you are sure that above 3 items test pass, then install the flash on the receiver, press the transmitter to test flash switch,then flash can work,make sure that you set the flash to M (manual). 5.If the fourth test pass,insert the transmitter hot shoe into hot shoe of camera,press the shutter,then the flash can work.

Easy. Pick up the camera. Power on. On the back of the camera on the large outside circle there are 4 markings. The one on the right controls the flash. If you press it you will see that there are 4 options. Just keep clicking that right side of the outer circle until you get the setting that you prefer. Enjoy that little jewel. BKW

Set everything up (flash connected to NPT-04 receiver, everything turned on), and then hit the test button that's on top of the transmitter. Does the flash fire? If it does, then the transmitter is talking to the receiver, and the receiver is talking to the flash. So the problem is the camera isn't talking to the transmitter. You didn't say what camera you're using. On my Sony cameras, "wireless" is for using the pop-up flash to control and fire other flashes. You can do wireless TTL, and use the pop-up flash to be the "commander". That's what "wireless" flash mode is. Obviously that's not what you're doing. So change it to rear or fill flash mode, and see if that works.

Look for a break in the cable somewhere, or a faulty push button switch on the transmitter. If it's focusing the camera, the RF section seems to be working. Does the wired unit fire the shutter when used alone, pushing it's button instead of the one on the transmitter? If so, it's the transmitter unit not getting the fire shutter signal out. Check your signal cables if you can. There are 3; A ground, a focus half press, and a fire shutter full press line. Test them if you know how, or know someone who does. What make/model of camera are you using it on?

I got the same one and it has the same problem it will take still shots but not any video.It might be a big in the software or a wire is loose some where in the camera.

I have shot 200 pics before I charged the battery before. That is not using the flash. With flash, I don't know.
